We have a 10:30 a.m. flight and I am going to get a car service reserved for the morning drive.
I hope you have a better experience at the Harte & Garter than I did...I generally have low expectations, but I won't stay there again.
First my booking was wrong and they argued with me about it, despite having a print out of the booking. I was given a room at the very top of the stairs, which is fine, but the lift was broken, there wasn't a porter so I had a 70lb suitcase to lug up the stairs!
Sorry, don't want to put a damper on it for you! Hopefully they have sorted themselves out since then!
